text: Share Smaller TextLarger TextPrint Effect of Age on Prognosis By Julie Stachowiak Oct 10, 2012 0 Comments In the past, I have begged the various neurologists that have treated me to tell me what was going to happen to me in terms of MS disability. Understandably, the docs were reluctant to give me a firm answer, instead giving the "MS is different for everyone" line. My favorite neurologist would see through all of my tactics to get these answers and always told me the same thing: "Oh, no, Julie. I am sorry. I seem to have left my crystal ball at home today." Now, I understand and support the neurologists who refuse to predict what is going to happen to an individual with MS. It is impossible to foresee the disease course of a specific person. However, new research is being done that gives an idea of the overall likelihood of disability and age of mortality based on certain factors, such as age. It is accepted among MS researchers and doctors that the older that people are when they are diagnosed with MS, the more quickly they progress to a score of 6.0 on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), which is the point in which assistance is needed to walk. People that are diagnosed later in life also tend to die sooner after diagnosis. However, I attended a session at ECTRIMS 2012 in which Helen Tremlett of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, presented data that may call this assumption of "age at diagnosis equals worse MS outcomes" into question. Looking at the British Columbia MS database, which has data on an estimated 80% of people living with MS in British Columbia, Dr. Tremlett found the following: It was true that people developing MS earlier in life progressed to disability (EDSS of 6.0) much more slowly than those diagnosed at a later age. In one study, people 16 years old or younger at MS onset progressed to EDSS of 6.0 in 28.9 years on average, while people older than 16 at disease onset reached this point in an average of 19.7 years. However, in this same study, people diagnosed at age 16 or younger tended to reach a sustained EDSS score of 6.0 earlier in life (average age 42.2) compared to people who were older at MS onset, who were 50.5 years when they needed assistance walking. In Dr. Tremlett's research on age of MS onset and mortality, people who developed MS before age 20 lived on average an additional 58.2 years, while those who had MS onset after 40 lived an additional 31.3 years. However, those who were younger at MS onset tended to die at a slightly younger age than those who developed MS at a later age. For instance, those who developed MS younger than 20 lived to be an average of 77.7 years, while those who developed MS after age 40 lived to be 78.9 years. Average survival time of people diagnosed between 20 and 40 years of age was 74 years of age. In other words, a younger age at MS onset did mean that people lived longer with MS and tended to have slower disability progression from the time that they had symptoms or were diagnosed. However, looking at absolute age, those who were younger at disease onset tended to accumulate disability earlier in life and die at a younger age. What does this research mean to me? Remember, the ages for sustained disability and mortality are averages, meaning for some people it all happens faster and many people live much longer before needing assistance to walk. In fact, many people with MS will not need assistance to walk because of their MS. This is a difficult statistic to figure out over a lifetime, because at some point in life people may need assistance to walk for age-related mobility issues. Overall, survival rates were 6 years less among people with MS than in the general population. Again, remember that these are averages. Julie Stachowiak, PhD Julie is the author of the Multiple Sclerosis Manifesto, the winner of the 2009 ForeWord Book of the Year Award in the Health Category. She is an epidemiologist who is also a person living with MS, Julie has an in-depth understanding about current research and scientific developments around MS. She also has first-hand knowledge of the frustrations and anxiety surrounding the disease, as she had MS for at least 15 years before receiving a diagnosis in 2003 and has had several relapses since her diagnosis.

I once sought a second opinion from a doctor. He said, "You're ugly, too."
Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant sought a second opinion — from a second doctor — regarding his broken finger. And the second opinion meshes with the first: Dez needs surgery on his left index finger.
According to Ed Werder of ESPN, Dez intends to delay surgery and attempt to play.
At least he didn't opt for the Ronnie Lott strategy. Yet.
That said, we admire Dez for playing. And we assume/hope that the doctors have explained the risks to him by doing something other than sending him to Wikipedia.

Amazing Book
This book is incredible! I am 15 years old and have Crohn's Disease, this means that I miss a lot of school and being in my first GCSE year, this is a real worry. I often miss days and very rarely complete an entire two weeks. Recently I have been off for about a month and, therefore, have had a lot of work to catch up. My mum gave me this book to help with catching up my maths work and I don't think I will ever look anywhere else when confused about something. The book is incredible! It has everything maths in there, you will always find what you need and when you do, the explanations are amazing. Often I am confused in class, but with the book I find it very easy to understand. Even as a student aiming high, don't think that this is for those that struggle, or are a bit younger, my predicted grade for maths is A-A* and I was worried I wouldn't achieve that with all my time off. Not anymore. I am now very confident of achieving that target. I am so happy with his book that I am going to buy the Triple Science copy to help with my science catch up. Unbelievable book, must buy for anyone, even at higher KS2 level, this will help a lot for SATS at the end of primary school, and it will certainly help again at the end of secondary school for GCSE's!!!

Illustrated dictionary of maths
I bought this book maybe 7 years ago, I was doing the ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) online and was advised to buy a copy. I'm pleased I did, I have used the book no end, and now my eldest granddaughter is finding it very useful for her mock GCSE exams. It explains things easier and she has time to look at it and take all the information in. It is very good, I would recommend it to anyone.
amos, 1st June 2011
very good
Thanks to your hard work to produce very high quality scientific books. This really is an illustrated dictionary of maths, helpful, and very clear. Bravo.
wadi-16-tunisia, 19th August 2008
best book
This is a really good book for gcse's and really helps KS2-3 students understand maths. It is really good for students that struggle in maths. This maths dictionary does the job of a teacher. I really think this is a great maths dictionary.

Erica is right. You have to learn to let go of the past and be willing to accept new love when it comes. If it breaks you again, stand back up and continue your journey. A time will come when you meet that someone who will be faithful to you. Not all is lost in this world. Hang on there

Jim Bunning of Kentucky won his last election easily.
He lost his humanity, it appears, years ago.
Using a stunning and ghastly display of Parliamentary Fu, the two-term piece of work and former Major League Baseball great repeatedly put up roadblocks for a bill that would extend and provide jobless benefits for 1.2 million Americans.
The bill languishes during a Senate recess.
It was ugly.
Jim is there for the little guy
The Huffington Post: "And when Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) begged him to drop his objection, Politico reports, Bunning replied: "Tough shit."
Kentucky's unemployment rate was 10.7 percent in December. Like all good ideologues — and by "good ideologue," I mean "crappy legislator" — Bunning isn't against the benefits.
He's quibbling. He's dicking with the system, at the expense of others, to make sure his point is made. He wants the money to come from the stimulus package, not from new funds added to the deficit.
Bunning, a Hall of Fame pitcher with 2,855 strikeouts in a 17 year career, was on his own in this one. The Senate's GOP leadership did not support him in his objections.
More from Huffington: And at one point during the debate, which dragged on till nearly midnight, Bunning complained of missing a basketball game.
"I have missed the Kentucky-South Carolina game that started at 9:00," he said, "and it's the only redeeming chance we had to beat South Carolina since they're the only team that has beat Kentucky this year.
What a guy. Kentucky must be very proud of him.

Looking for some advice, I want to be able to record the mouse movement coordinates and record them each time the mouse moves or clicks.
Now my idea is to run a java app in the background and then this will record the coordinates of the mouse when the user is using their programs so I can then use the coordinates to automate mouse movements and simulate clicks to automate tasks so obviously I need to be able to use all programs on the computer but to record the clicks and movements.
I have looked and it seems there is a mouse listener which will achieve this however it seems to need to occur over a java component so I need a way to have a jFrame/Panel invisible and not in the way of the programs I am using so It can record the coordinates when using the other programs.
Can anyone think of a way to achieve this?

In the past month or two there have been a lot of jobs for Emerging Technologies Librarians (at least six that I've seen). I find it interesting that we are seeing more and more of these positions. Looking at the ads there are some commonalities in what employers want out of an emerging technologies librarian:
- Plan and implement appropriate technology to improve services and access to resources
- Stay current on new technology
- Web-design skills
- Innovative
- Ability to work in a team and collaborate across campus (e-learning, IT, etc.)
- Share technology knowledge with library staff
I love seeing that more jobs of this nature are being created, and I feel it's important that libraries are creating positions that are focused on thoughtfully planning and implementing technology. Anyone should be able to come up with ideas for a new technology in the library and then implement it, whether they're a reference librarian, cataloger or director. But having a dedicated position like an emerging technologies librarian shows that the library is committed to staying current and trying innovative solutions to the new problems we are all facing.
Any of these jobs look really fun and interesting and it makes me wonder: now that these jobs are becoming commonplace, what will future library positions look like? What will be library job titles in the future?

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Friday, June 20, 2008
Tom Sawyer: "Truth-time"
"During this period, I ghosted several weeks of strips for Stan Drake's very popular The Heart of Juliet Jones,"
"...spending some time at Stan's home in Westport, Connecticut, where I got a taste of the attractive lifestyle enjoyed in that community by cartoonists and illustrators, who seemed to comprise about half the population. In addition to Stan's flamboyant, entertaining presence the area was crawling with such 'bigfoot' luminaries as Dik Browne, Ralston Jones, Frank Ridgeway, Mort Walker, plus noted illustrators Steven Dohanos, Harold von Schmidt, Noel Sickles and others whose work I had admiringly clipped out of national magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post since I was a kid. It hardly needs to be said that lunches with those I already knew, and a few I met via Stan, talking shop, chatting and joking with them, visiting their homes and studios, were tantalizing experiences for me. Glimpsing those artists' lives markedly pointed up my own fish-out-of-water status among my New Jersey neighbors, most of whose lives seemed to revolve around sales quotas, expense accounts, and their golf game…"
"… I'd already decided we had to move to Westport."
"At the same time, while I remained committed to selling and authoring my own comic-strip, that goal had, in a sneaky way, become somehow less urgent. In part, I knew, it was because of my busy professional life, as well as the enjoyment of our little family and our attendant activities."
"But there was another element at work on a less-conscious level. That was my gradual absorption, via observation, of certain realities about such work, about the endless grind of actually turning out a daily, 365 times a year, comic strip. Resulting cumulatively from my exposure to, and working with these guys – and though I did my best to deny it, to dismiss much of it as the exception – I was picking up, inferring, a growing sense that it might not be the best way in the world for me to spend my life."
"And meanwhile I was beginning to see myself having a limited capacity for doing the same thing over and over. Waaay limited. I had by then, after a lot of years and hard work, mastered the knack of drawing as well as the best in the business, and even with my added trademark specialty of infusing my figures with a particular energy/vitality, I was beginning to have vague, nagging worries that that might be all there was. Oh, there was still room for improvement in my work, I knew, but in much smaller increments, the challenges more internal, more head-of-a-pin personal."
"Still – none of these concerns translated into my actually asking hard questions, such as really reexamining where I was going. I mean c'mon – wasn't the comic-strip my Grail? My unquestioned Calling? My True Belief? So none of that mounting negativity about it – none of those intimations – could apply to me, right…?"
"…Nonetheless, I immersed myself, struggling to find ways to lay down a reproducible line that permitted more expression, was fresher, freer and more interesting than, say, the standard India-ink, brush-or-penpoint rendering. To that end, I'd begun experimenting with different tools – marking-pens, Wolf-pencils, charcoal and the like, and haunting art supply stores in search of drawing papers with unusual surfaces, a different tooth or texture. The resulting changes in the look of my drawings were mostly salutary, and at least momentarily satisfying, welcomed especially by my friend/client, Harry Volk. But even at the time I sensed that I wasn't addressing the still-larger issue. It would be awhile before I understood why I was so reluctant to look it in the eye, that to do so would mean questioning the entire direction I'd pursued since long before my arrival in New York."
"I'd made several more passes at creating a syndicated comic-strip, each separated by months and my busy advertising illustration schedule. I approached each with progressively less enthusiasm but, because of the changes in my rendering technique, each one had a marginally better 'look.' One was about an adventurous space-and-rocket-scientist. I followed that with a strip about a crusading newspaperman. Both were rejected by the major syndicates – and I was in a way relieved. My final attempt, which I pretty much walked through, had a college setting, its protagonist a cutting-edge – and edgy – physicist/professor. I never got as far as trying to sell it."
"It was truth-time."
"Among the many realities-not-faced were personal readings gradually accumulated, about the essential nature of this profession I'd striven for since my teens. About what it did to its practitioners, the comic-strip artists I'd come to know who were successful in the business: Stan Drake, Leonard Starr, Johnny Prentice, Dan Barry, and others. Perceptions, and conclusions drawn that I'd either discounted or otherwise chosen to ignore. Namely, that in watching, and working alongside these guys, I had almost from the beginning seen some very real darksides to their for-that-era high-paying game.
First, I had gotten the sense that all of them were in this velvet-lined trap, profoundly bored by their work, but earning so much that walking away from it was off the table. Though none actually said so (to me, anyway), it seemed that were it not for the mortgages, toys and lifestyles they'd grown used to, most of them would abandon these endless grinds in a New York minute. For the story-strip guys especially, 'endless' was the keyword; they were never finished with a job, never experienced closure. One 'story' morphed into another, on and on, with no break. I suppose the gag-a-day strip guys had it a little better – but not by much."
"Along with these fellows' lack of job-satisfaction were what I saw as resultant, very similar compulsive, compensatory behavior-patterns – usually in the form of booze and/or women and/or conspicuous consumption, or general neuroses. I recall commenting at various times that most of them seemed to be sitting at their drawing-boards, ankle-deep in pools of their own blood."
"Now, I realize that these observations had been made through my own, not-necessarily-universal filters, projecting myself, with my own limitations and hangups, onto their situations. And certainly chief among these was what I think of as my Jewish Prince mindset. My assumption, perhaps unreal but mine nonetheless, that I was entitled to enjoy what I did for a living. I mean, it was supposed to be pleasurable, right? Still another side of my slow dawning that not everyone is me. Like ignoring for so long the fact that for the average person, enjoying one's work is a largely alien concept. Again, I thank my parents for instilling in me my unwavering though clearly romantic belief in that 'divine right.' It's one more gift that has shaped my life and my approach to virtually all of my work: if it ain't fun, to hell with it."
"That I've been able to hang onto that concept, to live it for all but a tiny fraction of my productive years, and, incidentally, to be well-paid for it, is but further evidence of my extraordinary good luck."
"Anyway, while the prospect of actually doing one of these comic-strips had gradually become less and less attractive, I continued to resist admitting it to myself, or questioning it at all. Further, I remained in denial of my need for fresh challenges."
"All this and more had been piling up inside my head, and I'd been doing my best to pretend it wasn't there. I mean, we're not exactly talking unique behavior here. And then, one day it came together. Unable to avoid it anymore, I finally, abruptly saw it."
"I didn't care anymore about becoming Milton Caniff. More than that, I actively no longer wanted to be him."
"I finally knew what I'd known for a long time. That the very idea of spending my entire life working with the same-size sheets of drawing paper, and the same tools, over and over and over, with never a sense of finishing something and starting anew, would cause me, bluntly put, to go out of my fucking mind."
"Okay. But what else was I going to do? What profession was I going to pursue?"
"The good news came unexpectedly, if not somewhat predictably, within a few days. Several years earlier, I'd become fascinated, on a totally amateur level, with making home movies, shooting prodigious amounts of 8mm. film footage of my daughters, of Holly's and my wedding trip to Europe, and of friends at social functions. The part that had really grabbed me, though, was the editing process. I found myself eagerly cutting and splicing until far into the night, then staring bleary-eyed into the tiny screen as I'd wind and rewind past this or that edit, astonished at the result. I had discovered a phenomenon known well to people who worked in the medium, wherein two pieces of film having been cut together, can often add up to something greater than its parts. Sometimes exponentially so. The creative possibilities were genuinely intriguing."
"For me, contrasting with my childhood, ever-the-outsider view of Hollywood, and maybe because all of the above had conspired to make the stars and filmmakers of that period seem less godlike, the possibility of my somehow getting over that wall had begun to feel like a serious maybe, something to which I just might aspire. It was an exciting, though still very unlikely prospect, but hey – why not…?"
* Many thanks to Tom Sawyer for sharing these fascinating excerpts from his memoirs with us this week, as well as providing such a wealth of fabulous artwork for our enjoyment.

this is great stuff,leif...will tom be publishing his memoirs?....again,looking at these samples, it obvious neal adams was greatly influenced by tom...ReplyDelete
Leif, this is the kind of candor and tough, probing analysis that you rarely see in this field, especially from an insider such as Tom. Thank you for posting this. There are a lot of tough trade offs in drawing a strip, as in other demanding professions. I can see Tom's point about the way these commitments leave you with no life, and I would probably make the same choice to escape such an endless endurance contest. On the other hand, whatever toll it took at the time, at the end of your career it must be mighty satisfying to look back on all that work and have that accomplishment behind you. Leonard Starr can look over his shoulder at thousands of beautiful drawings and lovely words and say, "I did that."ReplyDelete
I can't tell you how much Tom's experience here mirrors my own.
It took 20 years of tryin to break into comics to realize I didn't want to draw comics for a living.
But I loved the artform so much that I wanted to do it on my terms.
And like Tom I get a lot of satisfaction out of shooting and editing film. My day job as a cinematic director keeps my interest if only to break up the moments that I'm not doing comic work.
Crazy...it's always nice to know that you're not the only one with hang-ups like this.
Thanks so much for this story. I was particularly interested in reading about the person behind clip art. It never occurred to me that there were real artists making it.ReplyDelete
Love Tom's attitude.

William Kentridge: Anything Is Possible gives viewers an intimate look into the mind and creative process of William Kentdridge, the South African artist whose acclaimed charcoal drawings, animations, video installations, shadow plays, mechanical puppets, tapestries, sculptures, live performance pieces, and operas have made him one of the most dynamic and exciting contemporary artists working today. With its rich historical references and undertones of political and social commentary, Kentridge's work has earned him inclusion in Time magazine's 2009 list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
This documentary features exclusive interviews with Kentridge as he works in his studio and discusses his artistic philosophy and techniques. In the film, Kentridge talks about how his personal history as a white South African of Jewish heritage has informed recurring themes in his work—including violent oppression, class struggle, and social and political hierarchies. Additionally, Kentridge discusses his experiments with "machines that tell you what it is to look" and how the very mechanism of vision is a metaphor for "the agency we have, whether we like it or not, to make sense of the world." We see Kentridge in his studio as he creates animations, music, video, and projection pieces for his various projects, including Breathe (2008); I am not me, the horse is not mine (2008); and the opera The Nose (2010), which premiered earlier this year at New York's Metropolitan Opera to rave reviews.
With its playful bending of reality and observations on hierarchical systems, the world of The Nose provides an ideal vehicle for Kentridge. The absurdism, he explains in the documentary's closing, "…is in fact an accurate and a productive way of understanding the world. Why should we be interested in a clearly impossible story? Because, as Gogol says, in fact the impossible is what happens all the time."

Christian Cheerleaders Full of 'Holy' Spirit
DEL CITY, Okla., May 2, 2005 -- Watch a video of some of America's national high school cheerleading competitions and you might think you've accidentally tuned in MTV. Or maybe even exotic dancers. Texas legislator Al Edwards was recently so unsettled by what he saw at one cheerleading event featuring nubile teens that he proposed a state law to end "sexually suggestive" performances at athletic events. "It's just too sexually oriented," he said, "the way they're shaking their behinds and breaking it down."
Now there is an alternative: Christian cheerleading -- where wholesomeness is the theme, "spirit" includes the "Holy Spirit" and the ultimate judge of each routine is believed to be God himself.
"We believe that God gives us the talents and abilities that we have," says John Blake, a national coordinator for the Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders, the nation's largest faith-based cheerleading organization. "We think that doing the sports, doing cheerleading is a way that we can honor and worship God."
And that means no lewd dance moves, no bare midriffs and no routines that would embarrass parents. At FCC camps and clinics around the country, cheerleaders are told the rules upfront, which also include a ban on trash-talk ("stomp-the-other-team") cheers.
The emphasis at these camps is on all things positive and uplifting, and that's just fine with many of the 25,000 students who attend each year. Angela Jackson, a 17-year-old cheerleader at the Christian Heritage Academy in Del City, Okla., notes the cheerleading team's cabinet full of first-place trophies, which she says were won without surrendering any dignity.
"Whenever we go out and perform," she explains, "what we've done isn't going to offend anybody or make anybody feel uncomfortable, because we have self-respect. And the whole squad feels the same way."
Her coach, Deani Merrell, who keeps a close eye on the squad as it practices gravity-defying flips, believes the growth of Christian cheerleading is more than just a response to a coarsening culture. She sees a strong desire in young people to express their faith openly, something she says is not easily done in public school or at work these days.
Merrell believes young people want to be able to bring their faith into their everyday lives and express it, and Christian cheerleading offers one way to do that. "It's more than just cheerleading, it's your heart's condition. And having the right heart's condition when you come up here: willingness to work, a love for the Lord."
And Christian cheerleading is growing quickly in popularity, just as Christian music, Christian radio and Christian publishing have in recent years.
In 1983, there were only 59 Christian camps and clinics in the country. Today, there are more than 500, and the Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders has also started camps and clinics in the Czech Republic and Russia. And the smaller Christian Cheerleaders of America is watching its attendance grow by about 25 percent a year.
These organizations are not resting on their spiritual laurels; the FCC's John Blake says one big attraction of the camps is that they teach creative ways to perform what are some very impressive routines: aerial acrobatics, competitive stunts and high-octane cheers that rival the best of secular cheerleading.
"We don't want to be second-best," says Blake. "I think a lot of times people are going to look at Christian organizations and think, 'Oh, well, you know they're not as good.' And, you know, we kind of take offense at that. We believe we have Christ on our side, so we're just held to a higher standard."

So tomorrow (or probably today, by the time most folks read this) we will be performing at the Farmers Market in Payson, AZ. I was asked to do this program when I connected with an Arizona folksinger friend, Anne James. Anne is involved in a number of folk-type things and always seems to be running in one direction or another, but we were able to stop long enough when we saw each other in Flagstaff to get this program scheduled. Then I learned that we have a 2-hour slot! I'm used to doing programs of historical focus, with the narrative illustrated by songs; but here the audience is not likely to be interested in a lot of narration (people will be coming and going throughout the time). While I have way more than enough songs to keep things going for 2 hours, the variety seems to lack continuity. So these past couple of days I have been trying to connect the types of songs I sing, to make the material flow, and this is what I came up with.
I began learning songs at my father's side, he playing piano and teaching me the words. We would do this day after day, when he'd get home from work and before we'd have dinner. So I learned a lot of kids' songs that way. It was, of course, augmented when I went to school and we had music time (I loved music time . . . it was by far the best part of the week). My music teacher was Mrs. Shaddock and she had been a teacher for one of the members of the Kingston Trio. I'd just barely heard of them . . . she'd tell stories about their music and them learning to blend their voices, etc. We didn't sing any Kingston Trio songs in school, but I learned them when I started to play the ukulele (Mrs. Shaddock, who'd lived a while in Hawaii, was thrilled when I told her I was learning to play uke).
Actually, the uke was not my first instrument; my dad had tried to teach me piano (what a waste of time that turned out to be . . . we didn't know then that I was dyslexic and the notes all just jumped around on the staff . . . it was hopeless . . . partly because I was only 5 years old at the time). But my grandfather played a Swedish zither called a Harpeleik and I fell in love with that (no notes - just chords . . . and those were arranged in groups of strings so there was no fingering issues . . . just find the chord and strum . . . even I could do that). So my grandfather taught me to play his "harp" and at Christmas time he'd bring it to our house so I could play Christmas songs on it all through the season. One year he said we should just keep it at our place . . . I could have it! I was about 9 years old at the time and so excited. So when I moved on to learning the ukulele, it was a continuation of the chord principle and that worked for me.
So now I was getting music instruction at home and at school, but let's not forget the influence of my grandparents. I called them Mema and Deeda (it was Deeda who played the zither instrument). When I'd visit them (they lived all of 3 blocks away), Mema would teach me songs about Jesus ("Jesus Loves Me," "Jesus Loves the Little Children," etc.) and then, when I would sing them to her satisfaction, she'd let me go hang out with Deeda and he'd teach me songs from his 78 rpm records, like "Old Dan Tucker" (I loved that one). He also taught me some Christian songs ("There's a Little Wheel a-Turnin' in my Heart," "Let the Sun Shine in," etc.), also from old records (all of which are now in my collection).
Then, of course, there was music instruction at church - more of the songs I'd learned at my grandparents' home, so I was already on top of the game there.
Then there was the camp experience. I went to a Christian camp for 2 years (connected to my church) and to a YWCA camp for 1 year. We sang all sorts of songs, though those first 2 years most of the songs were religious in nature and had a lot of hand movements, clapping, etc. And there were also songs connected with my brief experience in scouting (as a brownie back when I was about 9 or 10 and then again as a Mariner when I was in high school - I loved the Mariner songs, dealing with sailing, boats, etc.). So extra-curricular activities seemed to exist with music accompaniment!
When I graduated from Junior High to High School I also graduated to playing guitar. I discovered that the best way to learn the guitar (for me) was to hang out with others who also played. We'd teach each other songs and picking styles. I really had no formal guitar instruction until I was an adult, and even that was minimal. But I learned . . . brother, I learned! And with the songs and chords, I also learned to get along with people and become diplomatic. At my high school we had a Folk Song Society and I practiced regularly for my turn to play a song at the weekly meeting. It was an inspiration and motivation for me. But, as happens in all sorts of clubs, there were politics to contend with. The group disbanded for a year and then I helped get it going again, at the same time creating a "song circle" group of my own (sponsored by my church where we met once a week). That's where I learned and got my music "fix."
When I was about 10, my brother started me listening to "The Midnight Special," a radio program on WFMT in Chicago (it's still on, every Saturday night). I heard some great songs and would find copies of them (I still couldn't read music, so I'd get recordings and then work out the chords, or locate the words and chords in music books). A close friend and I would furiously write down the words of the songs we liked, making a carbon copy for the other person, creating our own music books. While other girls were getting together with friends and going to the movies or the mall, my best friend and I would get together at one house or the other and play music together.
So music was happening in my life at home, at church, at school, with friends, in extra curricular activities, at coffee houses, and, of course, by myself, in my bedroom, where I would practice for hours at a time. And the types of music varied depending on the venue in which I was participating. I always took my guitar when I went to babysit for the neighbors, so there I'd play the kids' songs. At the coffee houses and song circles at school and church I'd play protest songs. With my dad (we still did duets together) I'd do traditional folk songs. In church (when I was teaching Sunday School or doing a church program) I'd do the Gospel music. And, when I was alone, I'd often play love songs or even try my hand at writing my own.
So, at Farmer's Market in Payson, I expect I'll be doing some traditional music, some '60s folk stuff, some kids' songs, some pieces from my favorite contemporary composers, and maybe even an original song or two. Somehow I will make the segues from "Marvelous Toy" to "Down by the Riverside." And, hopefully, I'll help some of those in attendance connect with their inner musician!

LEWISTON — A mammoth 35-bout New England Fights mixed martial arts card scheduled for May 18 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee was approved this week by the Combat Sports Authority of Maine.
The NEF 7 show features nine professional bouts headlined by Bangor's Marcus Davis (21-9) taking on top prospect Darrius Heyliger (4-1) in a welterweight bout, as well as UFC veteran Henry Martinez (9-5) squaring off against Dez Green (8-1) for the NEF Maine lightweight title, and Dexter native Travis "The Showstopper" Bartlett (8-3) meeting Randy "The Wolf" Smith (14-13-1) for the NEF Maine heavyweight crown.
Twenty-six amateur bouts also are scheduled.
"As a fight fan you can't give me enough fights for my dollar," said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson of Rumford. "We've got a pro card that would hold its own anywhere in the country, in my opinion, as well as a full amateur card."
NEF 7 will serves as a showcase of sorts for Davis' Team Irish MMA Fitness Academy, which has 17 fighters slated to compete on the card, including pros Davis, Martinez, Jon Lemke (2-0) and Tommy Balzano (0-1) and amateurs Andrew Tripp (4-0), Andrew Hughes (4-1) and Adrianna Gomez, who will be competing in one of two scheduled women's bouts.
As for Davis, he will be making his second home-state appearance this year, the first coming during a nationally televised Bellator MMA show in Lewiston on March 21. That bout against Californian Waachiim Spiritwolf ended in the first round as a no contest after Spiritwolf could not recover from what was ruled by the referee as an unintentional low knee to his groin.
"I was absolutely floored by the support I received, heard and felt that night," said Davis. "Due to some unfortunate events, my opponent that night didn't allow for a great battle. But this time, I have a dangerous fighter (Heyliger) in front of me who is very skilled in all areas, and I'm taking him very seriously."
Martinez, a Maine resident recently released from the top-tier UFC promotion, has a new opponent in his scheduled fight for the inaugural Maine lightweight title.
Dez Green, a teammate of Heyliger at Team Bombsquad in upstate New York, has stepped up to replace Martinez's original opponent for the title fight, Windham native Jamie Harrison, who removed himself from the card for personal reasons.
"I'm very excited to be fighting Henry," said Green. "I've been wanting a shot at a more familiar name in the sport, so I will make the most of this opportunity and take the Maine state title belt on May 18."
That bout will end a roundabout quest by New England Fights to crown a champion in the 155-pound division.
NEF launched a lightweight tournament last September on its Fight Night IV card in Lewiston, with the original semifinals involving Harrison, Bruce Boyington, Josh Parker and Tony Woodman. Harrison defeated Parker to advance to the final, but Woodman was injured and had to pull out of the tournament, with Green then stepping in and defeating Boyington.
Harrison and Green were scheduled to meet for the title last November, but an injury forced Harrison to withdraw from the bout.
Green originally was unavailable in May for a rescheduled bout, so Harrison was matched against Martinez. But when Harrison withdrew from the rescheduled bout last week, Green became available for the title shot he had earned more than six months ago.
"The pathway to the Maine state MMA lightweight title has not been a straight one," said Peterson. "That being said, this 155-pound matchup has all the elements of the type of tale they immortalize in folklore. Henry's last fight was in the UFC where he was facing the best in the world. If Dez beats Henry, he could get the call from the big show to be fighting in the UFC next."

About the course
The Altius Alliance will ensure that you are trained, coached and mentored by experienced, highly effective practitioners and Specialist Leaders of Education (SLEs) to achieve QTS and a PGCE (SCITT) All trainees undertake at least one of the 3 placements at Cheadle Hulme High School and a further placement at another school within our Alliance.
Cheadle Hulme High School Science Department comprises a large suite of dedicated science laboratories, three preparatory rooms and an office. All the science teachers are specialists and are supported by four technicians and a Learning Support Assistant. We deliver a traditional and challenging KS3 curriculum over three years and students are taught where possible by subject specific specialist teachers from Year 8 onwards. At KS4, all of our students take OCR Gateway GCSE Science or Separate Sciences. Over 50% of sixth form students take an A Level in Science, all of which use the AQA exam board. The Science department has a full calendar of enrichment activities, clubs and events which run throughout the year. Particular highlights are the "pop up" Planetarium and the Science Fair.
The course:
The course runs from September to the end of June. All of the time is spent in schools (apart from 4 days at university to undertake the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) (SCITT). The course comprises:
- Generic teacher training
- Physics pedagogy programme - reflecting the KS3 and KS4 content outlined above
- SEND with mental health programme
- Three assessed teaching placements (11-16)
- Enhancement placements – SEND school, Post 16 and primary placement (unassessed)
- Enrichment opportunities
- PGCE (SCITT) with 60 Masters credits
QTS: This is an evidence based course where trainees are required to maintain and submit files of evidence of meeting the Teachers' Standards (DfE). These files comprise school experience files, formal lesson observations, pedagogy tasks, specific generic and curriculum-based tasks. PGCE (SCITT): Two assignments (5000 words each) at Masters level. 'The SCITT has an excellent reputation for producing NQTs who are confident and competent teachers.' (Ofsted 2017)
Interview process
The selection process will involve an initial application (two references are required to support this application) after which applicants may be asked to attend an Assessment Day.
Successful candidates will be invited for interview at Cheadle Hulme High School. During the process, which lasts for approximately 2 hours, you will be welcomed by a representative of the Alliance and given an overview of the programme.
The interview process comprises 3 elements. 1) Candidates will be observed teaching a short segment of a lesson to a group of pupils. The requirements for this and attainment information about the pupils being taught will have been sent with the invitation for interview. 2) An interview with a member of the SCITT team and a subject lead. 3) A short assessment of literacy and numeracy skills
Candidates will be informed of the outcome of the interview via UCAS within 2 working days.
How school placements work
There are approximately 12 secondary schools in the Alliance across Stockport, Manchester, Tameside and Cheshire. All formal training takes place at Cheadle Hulme High School and the majority of trainees undertake their first assessed teaching placement (11-16) at this school, from September until Christmas.
After Christmas trainees move to another school within the Alliance for their second assessed teaching placement (11-16). As a small provider we endeavour to take account of participants' locations and personal circumstances when arranging second placements.
Around Easter time trainees return to their first placement school; although some opt to remain in their second placement school until the end of the course.
In summary, there are three assessed teaching placements (11-16) over two schools throughout the course and at least one of these takes place at Cheadle Hulme High School. In addition to these placements the trainees spend some time in post 16 and primary environments to experience settings either side of the 11-16 age range. These are called enhancement placements and are not assessed.
Financial support
You could be eligible for either:
- a scholarship of £28,000
- a bursary of £26,000
With a scholarship or bursary, you'll also get early career payments of £2,000 in your second, third and fourth years of teaching (£3,000 in some areas of England).
To qualify for a scholarship you'll need a degree of 2:1 or above in Physics or a related subject. For a bursary you'll need a 2:2 or above in any subject.
You can't claim both a bursary and a scholarship - you can only claim one.

The only time a physician comes close to doing what a teacher does is when the doctor faces an emergency room of multiple patients with multiple conditions, all of whom need immediate attention. That's what a teacher deals with every day in a class of 30.' Lee Shulman Adapted from Educational Leadership, Vol 67 (5), February 2010
You need a high standard of personal organisation, a willingness to learn, a passion for your subject and, above all, a desire to work with young people to help them achieve their potential.
Other requirements
Before trainee teachers start their training, they must have
been screened by the Disclosure and Barring Service to make sure they are not barred from working with children and vulnerable adults
been assessed as having the health and physical capacity to teach so that children and young people in their care would not be at risk of harm
About the training provider
The Altius Alliance SCITT provides a school-led route which 'ensures that trainees have the opportunity to hone their practical teaching skills in an intellectually rigorous context. Training balances conceptual understanding with the practical toolkit trainees need to teach in schools.' (Ofsted 2017) The SCITT is a partnership of primary and secondary schools across Greater Manchester, Stockport, Cheshire and Tameside. In 2017 the SCITT was judged to be an outstanding provider of Initial Teacher Training by Ofsted. The SCITT is based at Cheadle Hulme High School (11-18), consistently the highest performing state school in Stockport and judged outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in two successive inspections. All formal primary and secondary training takes place here and all secondary trainees undertake their first and final placements at this school. Primary trainees undertake their assessed placements in one of our Alliance primary schools. The Ofsted report lauded the training programme stating that 'exceptionally well-designed training enables trainees and NQTs to thrive.' The current and former trainees told the inspectors it had been 'a privilege' to train with the SCITT and praised the 'excellent levels of support provided by leaders and managers.' Trainees who successfully complete their training are recommended for qualified teacher status (QTS) 11-16 (secondary) or 5-11 (primary). All gain a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE), with 60 Masters credits, from our partner Manchester Metropolitan University.

Genetic testing is a growing field that can be of benefit to people who have a family history of common adult health conditions such as heart disease and cancer, including brain tumors. These tests, in a nutshell, can help identify genetic mutations or signs that a mutation may be present before the onset of the actual disease. However, genetic testing also has many limitations, which should be taken into consideration before undergoing any testing. Here is some basic information to help determine if genetic testing could be helpful for you.
Genes and Cancer
Cancer forms when genes go haywire and allow cells to divide and reproduce without restraint. These cells invade surrounding tissues and create growths. We know that some cancer occurrences are influenced by heredity, where gene mutations are passed on from one generation to the next. At the same time, a person may carry an inherited gene mutation but never fully express it, and hence never get the disease.
How Genetic Testing Works
Currently, genetic tests are available for more prevalent adult diseases such as brain, breast, ovarian, prostate, colon and endometrial cancer, as well as cystic fibrosis, hemochromatosis, coronary heart disease and kidney disease.
Some tests involve taking a blood sample or tumor tissue and checking a gene's DNA code to find a mutation; this method is often used to identify an inherited cancer risk. Another form is biochemical testing, which looks at enzymes and proteins that are encoded by genes. Many genetic tests done for heart disease risk are of the biochemical variety.
Genetic testing carries many limitations. The big one is that these tests are not definitive. Its findings only show that the risk of developing a certain disease is higher, not if or when it will develop. As I mentioned earlier, many people may carry a familial gene mutation and never get the disease. Additionally, people who test negative for a specific gene mutation are not necessarily out of the woods; there may be a mutation in another gene that was not tested, or there may be non-genetic, shared environmental factors that could cause a disease to seem to "run in families." To put it simply, genetic testing may provide highly useful information, but it cannot predict the future.
Should You Get a Genetic Test?
Getting a genetic risk assessment is a very personal decision and something that should be discussed with your doctor. In general, a genetic test for brain cancer risk may be considered for someone whose family members have been diagnosed with a brain tumor early in their lives, or been diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor along with another type of cancer.
It is important to factor in the psychological impact of genetic testing, too. A positive result is not a guarantee for developing a brain tumor, but may cause undue stress and anxiety about the possibility of developing one. There also is the risk of continuous testing that could lead to unnecessary exposure and costs.
If getting a test helps put your mind at ease about your health and medical planning, it may be worth considering, but I encourage everyone to weigh the risks and benefits carefully.
Mind your health,

However, I'm sick of the stress it causes every one to guess- about the 9 month mark- how things will go. I like my life under control more than dreaming of something that might or might not happen. Also- depending on the power one has at immigration- you may find yourself getting the bonus and banned from Korea for two years under trumped up charges. Anyway- perhaps I'm cynical- I just want to tell them all off the bat- just forget it. I give me an extra month of work- the month I would have been fired or accused of some atrocity and save so many head-aches. My good buddy and I in Seoul eventually concluded that this was the best route to take. Just aim for 100,000 won a month more than waht you wanted and there you go- your bonus.

So- I perfectly understand your worries. You're in the mud up to your knees and the only way now to stay clean of an "offence" is to get a lawyer for 100,000 won to communicate on your behalf as a figure-head (evidence) that you won't be leaving the school on illegal terms. The way to do that is to have the lawyer write up a letter requesting the opportunity for you to pay all bills that are yours: eg. water/power/phone/oil.... That way- you have the perfect witness that your intent wasn't to break any laws and it scares the crap out of the owner to the degree that they can't use anything to get you black-listed because they'll have nothing legally binding on you. It's likely not a good idea to do it yourself because it's so easy to have some bill come a couple weeks after you go and to use it as evidence against you. Perhaps you're right- cut some losses if you want back in- however this is the chink in your armor- if you leave even one penny of outstanding bills- that could go to immigration. Also, disconnect your internet service yourself, cell phone service, and close your bank account after you get all your cash (I've heard that it's not legal to leave it open if you are out of country. Sounds funny- but that's what I read somewhere.) It has to be done before you're finished. Yes- they will be offended- but- hey, this is YOUR future we're talking about. It doesn't hurt them one bit getting that letter. Do it before your clock ticks down to zero.

Job Shop-Developed Dovetail Fixture Takes Wing
Two aerospace job shops in California collaborated to produce a workholding fixture that allows any shop to set up a fully fixtured pallet dedicated to a five-axis job and then store the fixtured pallets for immediate use whenever the job repeats.
Like many shop owners, Brian O'Rell, president of Vanderhorst Brothers Inc. (VBI) in Simi Valley, California, knew that his strategy for workholding fixtures would "make or break" the productivity of his shop's newest machining center. This machine, a five-axis VMC, was designed with multiple pallets. Because VBI specializes in repeat orders for complex aerospace components, Mr. O'Rell needed a system that would allow him to set up a fully fixtured pallet dedicated to each job and then store the fixture pallets for immediate use whenever the job repeats.
The fixtures had to be affordable because he needed a lot of them. They had to provide rigid clamping without distorting the workpiece. They had to allow quick loading and unloading of the parts to keep setup time within the targets demanded by lean manufacturing. The fixtures had to get the workpieces away from the surface of the pallet so the spindle could reach all exposed faces of the workpiece for five-axis machining without interference. Finally, they had to minimize the clamping stock required in workpiece blanks to reduce material waste.
Featured Content
Mr. O'Rell was not entirely satisfied with the workholding fixtures available commercially, so he decided to make is own.His original design was based on traditional mating dovetail methods he had been using for sometime. The initial batch of fixtures worked well enough that he recommended them to another shop owner, David Fisher of S & H Machine, Inc. (S&H) in Burbank, California. Mr. Fisher had a new five-axis machine identical to Mr. O'Rell's and was struggling with the same workholding challenges.
Mr. Fisher immediately recognized that the fixtures would worked well in his shop, too, but S&H Vice President and Production Manager Dao Ha had his own ideas to improve the design. So the two shops combined their ideas, refined the clamping concept and decided to bring it to market. Thus, Raptor Workholding Products (RWP) was born, a joint venture of the two companies. The new company's first offering is this jointly developed dovetail fixture, for which patent protection is underway. It is available in two sizes, a 1.5-inch model and a 0.75-inch model.
Mr. O'Rell says several features set the fixture apart from other designs. For example, the fixture has a solid dovetail interface on one side. This serves as the solid stop against which a workpiece is clamped by two spring-loaded, stainless steel dovetail clamps on the opposite side of the fixture. Another feature, a locating screw adjacent to the solid stop, provides workpiece positioning and prevents a part from being loaded backwards.
For clamping purposes, a shallow dovetail "strip" must be machined on the clamping side of the blank workpiece. The width of this dovetail strip matches the dovetail "slot" on the fixture. The strip is only 1/8 inch high, so it requires little extra stock. The dovetail can be machined with a standard 60-degree dovetail cutter or one purchased from RWP. A slot that fits against the locating screw must also be milled. Because these machined features are standardized, programmers can duplicate the necessary configurations into all CNC part prep programs.
The operator loading material on the fixtures simply places one side of the dovetail strip against the solid side and then tightens the clamps. This presses the material blank firlmy against the solid side. The capscrews in the clamps are
then tightened to secure the workpiece. Mr. O'Rell claims that the hardened clamps provide strong, even clamping pressure with no side-to-side movement, even during heavy cuts on large workpieces.
The fixture base is a tapered pedestal on a circular foot that has bolt holes for mounting in the T-slots or threaded holes in the pallet. The base can also be mounted on a tombstone in a HMC or mounted on a lathe. The fixtures are 3 inches high and 5 inches in diameter. Risers are available for applications requiring additional clearance height. The fixtures can be customized or fitted to any machine or index table with adapter plates for existing fixture mounts.
"We've decided that every five-axis part we run will be held using a Raptor dovetail fixture," Mr. O'Rell says. "Accordingly, almost all the pallets in our five-axis mill are loaded with RWP-001s and RWP-002s, although we have a new 5C version—the RWP-003—for smaller workpieces. We've incorporated the solid models into our CAD/CAM templates so that our programmers see exactly where the fixture sits in the machine's envelopeWith this arrangement, we no longer need to spend time designing workholding solutionsfor our first milling operations (and on the five-axis machine, the first milling operation usually completes all of the major part features). We're still able to produce a wide variety of parts on a shared machine, but we've eliminated the changeover time," Mr. O'Rell concludes.

On behalf of our students and chaperones, I wanted to say thank you to your staff. They were professional, polite, fun, encouraging, and best of all -- kept to a strict yet flexible schedule! In the blink of an eye they had tables set up for lunch halfway through. We were so impressed! Most importantly, we all agreed it was our favorite field trip ... ever! You can expect a message from me early next year to schedule a trip for our next group of students.
Thank you for your support along the way. -March 2018
I just had my twins' 5th birthday there on Saturday. 35 kids attended. To say the staff was extremely attentive, organized, and helpful would be an understatement. I was so impressed! I assumed that by the end of the party, I would be a ball of stress. That wasn't the case at all because I didn't have to lift a finger! Thank you Bounce Factory in Warren! We will certainly be hosting a party there again! - Jan. 2018
I just wanted to let you know that I cannot begin to tell you how much fun our students (and teachers) had today!! Your staff was incredibly professional and the day was perfectly planned. We were all very impressed. For most of our students, these were all "first time" experiences with many of these activities. The takeaways that I heard about when we returned to school were impressive. While probably the most fun for the students, so many students started the discussion about how team-building was also a big part of Laser Tag really stands out in my mind. How their eyes lit up when their Lego see-saws started moving when they flicked the switch; the excitement of the Velcro wall; and how they worked together in the team activities were all great to witness. BEST FIELD TRIP EVER!! -June 2017
I wanted to thank you and the staff at Bounce Factory for an amazing experience with my students on Monday. This was truly one of the most unique field trips they have taken part in and everything was so well-organized. I especially loved how one of your staff members greeted us as the bus pulled up- it was a great way to start the trip. Every activity/station was well thought out and really provided thought-provoking and fun activities. In addition, every staff member was so polite and courteous. Thank you, once again. We hope to organize another trip next year! - May 2017
